What in the world is the status quo? How is it able to keep you from closing deals? My guest, Will Barron, founder of Selling Made Simple and the Salesman Podcast, is here to reveal the number one deal killer. Tune in to learn more about the status quo, Will's experience with it, and how he was able to overcome this sales challenge. Introducing Will Barron Will Barron, the mastermind behind Selling Made Simple and the Salesman Podcast, brings a wealth of experience and expertise in B2B sales. He specializes in helping salespeople close more deals in a simplified manner. Will's strategies revolve around understanding the root causes of sales stagnation and turning them into actionable steps. What is the Status Quo? You know that feeling where you won't do anything unless there's a massive reward at the end? It kind of stalls your motivation to get things done. This feeling illustrates the concept of the status quo. Many salespeople face situations where deals stall and ultimately fall off the pipeline, not due to competition or pricing, but simply because of inertia. There are psychological and business factors contributing to the status quo. Often, it's not about the product or the competitor, but more about the inherent resistance to change. Engaging with Decision Makers Often, you may find yourself speaking to individuals who lack the authority to move deals forward. You want to communicate with the decision-makers to close deals. Will provides practical advice on identifying and engaging those with the actual power to affect change. DIY Objection & Simplification Without realizing it, you may be oversimplifying or overcomplicating the sales process, making prospects believe they don't need external help. Will explains the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) objection, where prospects feel they can implement solutions on their own. He also shares how to keep prospects in the “Goldilocks zone,” where they see the value in seeking professional help for their problem. “If you're selling complex products to sophisticated buyers, where there are real financial concerns and businesses on the line, you need to guide them through their buying journey. You need to help them make decisions and move forward.” - Will Barron.

Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting habits, especially in prospecting, can lead to consistent performance and success in sales. Assertiveness, comfort with talking about money, optimism, not being a people pleaser, high self-esteem, personal accountability, and goal-setting are key traits of high performers. Controlling emotions and pushing through tasks even when not feeling like it is essential for success. AI tools can be beneficial for speeding up processes, such as generating content ideas and questions for content creation. Using AI tools for generating questions for content creation can save time and increase content output, leading to higher engagement and views. BEST MOMENTS "One of the things that I get the all new starters in our program to do is to prospect daily. And that is such a transformational leap in most salespeople's and small business owners and founders, if they're doing founder-led sales." "Nobody wants to do cold outreach. Nobody wants to do content creation if you're doing inbound marketing, inbound lead sales. Nobody wants to do cold calls. But you have to do them routinely, systematically, every day to build that habit. And then it becomes like brushing your teeth, where it's an activity which is neutral." "I used to be a massive procrastinator. Unless the deadline was three minutes from this moment in time, I wouldn't have started any project. I got over that by understanding this concept of the emotional, 'caveman' part of my brain."

Ryan sits down with Will Barron, the renowned host of The Salesman Podcast. Will shares his expertise on how to effectively combine attention and prospecting strategies to overcome challenges in sales, particularly in acquiring new customers. Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes. Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Combining attention and prospecting in sales is incredibly important in overcoming challenges in pipeline activation. Will Barron emphasizes the importance of creating content that answers buyers' questions and aligns with their desires to attract and engage prospects effectively. The key elements of a successful outbound strategy include targeting the right person, crafting buyer-centric messages, and focusing on booking meetings rather than closing deals. Consistent exposure through multiple platforms and interactions can help build unconscious trust with prospects, making them more likely to engage. Simplifying messaging to create curiosity and elicit a response from prospects can be more effective than overwhelming them with product details. BEST MOMENTS "If you can just call someone, or you are just able to email someone to book meetings, you absolutely shouldn't be doing content marketing." "You've got features, benefits, great, no one gives a shit. What are the desires of the buyer? How can you tie what you do with not even solving a problem, the desire behind that problem, why they want to solve it?" "You're just trying to give them just enough where they go 'Wills emails me, and I would not be doing my due diligence in my role if I don't jump on a quick call of him." "I think there's a lot of value of being like hyper direct. At least that's the way it is. I've shifted and I'm like, hey, this is where I'm at. This is what my pricing is."

Subscribe to Selling With Social Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Google Podcasts Prospecting in the modern sales environment is about much more than finding contacts and making cold calls. In fact, it’s more complicated than ever to reach out to a potential buyer in an effective manner. This episode of #SellingWithSocial features me - on my friend, Will Barron’s podcast - The Salesman. We spoke at length about how social selling has a very specific purpose: to warm up prospects before connecting with them personally. We also discussed what the data tells us about modern prospecting, how you can personalize your outreach for greater effectiveness, how to know your outreach efforts are working, and much more! If you are having trouble with the transition from traditional prospecting methodologies to the new approaches that digital selling has thrust upon us, I suggest you listen carefully to this episode. And if you are already a pro at modern prospecting, you’re sure to learn some new approaches that can increase your success even more. Take notes and apply what you learn. Social Is About Warming Up Prospects Before The Phone Call We all know the uncomfortable feeling of reaching out to a prospect entirely cold. It’s no fun and it’s not very effective either. Statistics show us that only 3% of cold calls result in a sale. What about the other 97%? Doesn’t it make sense that we figure out how to reach them with our message in a way that resonates with them? I believe that cold calling is not dead, but that it is dying - at least in the form we’ve practiced for so long. It’s still part of a good prospecting cadence, but we have to use it differently these days. It’s only effective when social has already been utilized to warm up the prospect. That includes social media, personalized video, text messaging, AI, and other tools. Here is an example of a good cadence that demonstrates where cold calling can fit in for maximum impact: Follow the prospect on LinkedIn Pay attention to when they look at your profile Engage with their posts in a meaningful way Next, request to connect with them via LinkedIn Continue to engage with their content, share their content, tag them Send an email Send a personalized video THEN make the phone call And what do you do if none of that gets a response? Listen to this episode to find out how you can modify the approach and get a response. Data Tells Us Exactly What We Should Do And Should Not Do When Prospecting One of the many things I appreciated about the questions Will asked me in this conversation, was that he is interested in the data behind my assertions, not just the anecdotes That’s because he’s a smart seller who knows that data trumps gut feelings every time. So I shared the following data with him about the typical prospecting attempts sellers make: The average response rate on cold email outreach is less than 3% The average response rate on cold calling via the telephone is less than 3% 62% of buyers look at a salesperson’s LinkedIn profile after they reach out initially When a company’s sales force has at least a 25% social selling adoption rate, their win rate increases to 41% When a company’s sales force has at least a 75% social selling adoption rate, that win rate goes up to 61% Why is that data important in the modern sales environment? Because it reveals to us that much of what we’ve done successfully in the past isn’t working with the same level of effectiveness - AND that new approaches, like social selling, are gaining traction. Listen to learn how your sales team can improve its win rate and start more sales conversations. How You Can Know If Your Social Selling Efforts Are Working? It’s easy to say that digital selling techniques are what every seller should adopt, but where’s the proof? How do you know if the things you’re practicing are truly gaining ground? Before we get to the answer, let me point out something vital to understand... The digital network you build is a long-term resource. In other words, the people you connect with now may become buyers in the future. A “No” today doesn’t always mean “No” forever. For that reason, you need to continue publishing content that maps to your specific buyer’s journey and trust that the value you are providing will get you into more sales conversations over time. Now back to the question - how do you know if your social prospecting approach is working? There is one simple question to answer: Did your efforts create more conversations? If so, you’re probably doing the right things. Listen to understand how you can refine your approach and gain even more opportunities. What Is Keeping You From Converting Connections Into Conversations? So if the number of sales conversations you’re scheduling is the main barometer of success, what can you do if you’re not booking those calls? Evaluate - examine each step of your sales cadence (discussed in this episode) and adjust your approach one cadence-step at a time. That way you can discover which methods are not touching your prospects in an ideal way, and make adjustments. Listen to this episode to learn more about how modern sellers are establishing a basic sales cadence and using it effectively to reach more buyers.

Having issues with mindset and skill set can amplify issues that we may have at the top of the sales funnel. Will Barron the host of The Salesman Podcast is here today to talk about mindset. He has so many skills and there are so many topics that we can talk about, but I wanted to hone in on mindset because having the right mindset can amplify our sales success. Will has interviewed so many people and has had so many conversations that he brings a wealth of knowledge to the show. The Salesman Podcast is the most downloaded award winning B2B sales show on iTunes. The reason Will started his podcast was because he was hitting his sales marks, but he wanted to go beyond that and smash it. Now he shares some of his deep dive sales knowledge with us here today. Episode Highlights: How Will has personally beat his chronic procrastination through habits. His biggest sales mind hack was actually understanding why he wanted to work in sales in the first place. He worked in sales because he wanted to save up cash to start a business. Once he made this plan he worked harder, put his head down, and got things done. Having an end goal can be an underrated sales tool. How he started asking the questions of what he wanted to achieve through his sales work throughout his life and minimize regrets. Projecting your future happiness and asking if what you are doing now will lead to your happiness. Marginally acceptable goals, acceptable goals, and whoopie goals! Focusing on blocking out time for productive single focused goals. Will’s passion is getting people excited about science. His motivation for doing the sales podcast is leading to his goal of starting his new Excited About Science podcast. He wants to break the mundaneness of life by giving people fun facts about science every morning. Will shares his routine and how he timeblocks and protects himself from distractions. Then it is habit and process. How getting a 25 minute pomodoro task done helps to build momentum. It is easier to carry on with the work then to change the task. Start in small blocks and work your way up. Start with 25 minutes and work up. Being specific with our goals and making sure you physically have the time to fill in the slots or else you have to be more efficient. Use trial and error to move your blocks around until you find the best nuggets of time to get stuff done. It’s about highest impact and lowest effort. Working the way your prospects work to have those conversations. Resources: Awaken the Giant Within The Pomodoro Technique Marinara Timer The Salesman Podcast Will Barron on LinkedIn
